    Notes: A spectrum of C2H 2Π–2Σ+ transition centered at 2928 cm−1 has been measured in the gas phase using a high resolution difference-frequency infrared laser spectrometer. The C2H molecules are produced in a hollow cathode discharge through a mixture of C2H2 (∼20 mTorr) and H2 (∼500 mTorr). The discharge amplitude modulation technique is used to enhance sensitivity and selectivity. About 125 lines are rotationally analyzed and accurate molecular constants are determined through a least-squares fit. The band is assigned to the 3ν2+ν3 combination band. The assignment is consistent with the observed 2Π–2Σ+ symmetry and is in good agreement with the recent theoretical calculation of the vibrational frequency and the spin–orbit coupling constant. The relatively large spin–orbit coupling constant of the (0 3 1) state is indicative of strong vibronic interaction between the A˜ and X˜ states. A small perturbation appears near the end of observed Q-branch series, which is probably caused by a Σ vibronic state. New assignments of the progressions (0 v2 0) and (0 v2 1) toward higher v2 are proposed based on the existing gas phase and rare gas matrix data with the help of recent ab initio theoretical predictions.

    Notes: The gas phase C2D absorption spectrum has been studied in the 2800 cm−1 region using a high resolution difference-frequency laser spectrometer. The C2D molecules were produced in a hollow cathode discharge in a mixture of C2H2 or C2D2 (∼20 mTorr) and D2 (∼400 mTorr). Two bands were identified and rotationally analyzed. One band at 2796 cm−1 was found to be a 2Π–2Σ+ transition with the lower state being the ground state. The upper level of this band is assigned to the (110) state in the ground electronic state, X˜ 2Σ+. The other band at 2851 cm−1 is a 2Σ+–2Σ+ transition from the (001) state in X˜ 2Σ+ to a vibronic 2Σ+ state which was found to be perturbed. Accurate molecular constants for the upper levels involved were determined from least-squares fit. These constants as well as the observed transition frequencies are reported.

    Notes: Summary The present study was designed to evaluate the chemotherapy-induced cellular immunosuppression in 20 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in remission and receiving maintenance chemotherapy. Peripheral blood was serially obtained from leukemic children during vincristine/cyclophosphamide/6-mercaptopurine/prednisone combined consolidation chemotherapy. The mean absolute number of peripheral blood lymphocytes as well as the mean absolute numbers of lymphocyte subsets (T cells, T cell subsets, B cells, and natural killer cells) from leukemic children before consolidation chemotherapy were all significantly lower than in control subjects; however, the percentages of lymphocyte subsets were similar in both groups. After consolidation chemotherapy, the percentages of CD4+ T lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells were significantly decreased and the percentages of monocytes and CD8+ T lymphocytes were significantly increased. Phytohemagglutinin- and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced production of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and NK-cell-mediated cytotoxic activity by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were also substantially decreased in the post-therapy groups. NK activity correlated with the percentage of NK cells in PBMC. In contrast, OK432-induced production of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and killer activity against NK-resistant target cells were significantly increased after therapy as compared with the pre-therapy and control groups. TNFα production correlated with the percentage of monocytes in PBMC. These results demonstrate that substantial quantitative and qualitative chemotherapy-induced abnormalities of the cellular immune system are present in the majority of patients treated with ALL. It is also suggested that the increased TNFα production by monocytes and the appearance of potent killing activity against NK-resistant targets might compensate for the defects of IL-2 production and NK activity during intensive consolidation chemotherapy.
